Chapter 381

Eason was still holding Penny in his arms, motionless,

Judith, overwhelmed with grief, cried so hard that she nearly collapsed.

Susan cried silently.

Ben couldn’t help but put his arms around her shoulders.

Despite Ben’s efforts to call for a rescue helicopter when Penny was poisoned, only ten minutes had passed since her confession and subsequent death.

Even the helicopter hadn’t arrived.

This poison… was indeed extremely terrifying.

“Mr. Landor?”

The door swung open, and rescue workers rushed in.

Ben sighed. “It’s too late.”

Penny’s heartbeat had ceased entirely.

Judith, still holding onto hope, pleaded, “Please, check on her.”

Several doctors approached and, after a brief examination, shook their heads.

No signs of breathing or a heartbeat were detected.

They were outside the hospital.

Even if Penny was sent to the hospital immediately, it would take some time.

By that time, there was nothing they could do.

The doctor’s arrival only confirmed the tragic reality that Penny had passed away.

Judith burst into tears again.

Eason managed to calm down. He said in a hoarse voice, “Mom, let the doctor… send Penny to the hospital

first.”

Judith nodded casually, but she kept holding Penny’s hand and refused to let go.

At the hospital.

Despite knowing the inevitability of the situation, the doctors exhaustively attempted various life–saving measures. However, they ultimately declared that there was no treatment available for Penny.

In just an hour, Judith had shed all her tears.

Despite her bloodshot eyes, she surprisingly managed to compose herself.

She took out the powder and handed it to Ben. “Do you have any way to test its composition?”

Ben accepted it solemnly. “I’ll arrange for someone to examine it.

“Okay. Thank you for that.” Judith looked at Susan again. I’m going back to the Tonico.”

Susan said in a trembling voice, “Aunt Judith…”

Judith looked at Susan with a trace of gentleness. “Silly girl, do you think I’m mad at you? Penny’s issue has nothing to do with you. She has made up her mind to die. I want to return to Tonico because Alexander…. is in danger. If Penny was right, the people behind the scenes are likely to push her into the position of queen. That would only happen if something happens to me, Eason, and Alexander simultaneously, Penny is the chess piece they arranged for me and Eason. What about Alexander? Is there someone around him like Penny? Are they planning to poison Alexander, too? Will he end up like Penny… and die in such a short… time?”
